Sprue Cutter Showdown

I got fed up paying £50 for a set of sprue cutters and so replaced my old Meng single blade with Stedi MS-108s. Compared them to Godshands and couldn’t tell the difference.

Half the price and every bit as good.

If yours are as good as Godhands, Zoukei-Muras are better.

I’ve no doubt about it, but the ones I have do the exact same job and cost half as much. Hence, I don’t care if they wear quicker or get damaged.

They say you only get what you pay for, but I used to get the most expensive tools I could afford all the time - for some things, experience has taught me that is the truly false economy.

In my opinion, here’s a nice diagram that helps with getting the most out of a high quality set of nippers.

The two nip procedure. Step 3 is helpful with many types of nippers.

Godhands are too clunky to get into many tight spaces.

Opinions definately differ on that, i’m not disagreeing, just saying :wink:

I agree, the sharp nose on the Zoukei-Muras rocks in many tight areas where my GH’s proved too clunky. However, the GH’s are sometimes easier to manipulate in some tight spaces due to being smaller.

Ideally, a pair of each!

Added to the nipper collection, these arrived today via Amazon. Cuts as well as best nippers like GodHand, DSPIAE-Meng etc I’ve used.

P.I.T. also proved the excellent guide on how to use nippers in their Amazon add posted above.
